Pricing & History
1848 N-46 R7+ VG7. Sharpness F12 but there is a rather deep dig at the right side of star 6, the rim over star 7 was slightly flattened, and there is a small splash of silvery solder or plating at the dentils under star 12. Both sides are covered with light contact marks, strongest a thin diagonal nick in the field before the chin. Glossy light to medium brown, probably recolored but the toning has a natural appearance. The planchet is free of any roughness or verdigris and all the attribution points are clear. This extremely rare variety combines the earliest state of the N-44/32/6 obverse die with the intermediate state of the N-10/11 reverse die. This die marriage was discovered in 1991 by Tom Wagemaker (who retains the discovery coin, which grades about F12) and only 4 other examples have been uncovered. This one, which was the second piece found, is tied for CC#2 honors in that short census list of 5 pieces. Plated in the third (2001) edition of the Grellman book on late date cents. DWH #2116.
